As a multidisciplinary Mexican-American artist, my work arises from a profound need to be seen.

From my childhood, I carried the feeling of invisibility, a sentiment that has followed me throughout my life, especially when I arrived in the United States as an immigrant. This invisibility, the experience of being caught between worlds and seen only as "just another immigrant," generated an internal struggle. I often asked myself, "What am I doing here?"

While migration intersects with my personal story, the central theme of my work is the need to be seen. Through my pieces, I strive to give form to the deeply felt but often left unspoken emotions—making tangible the stories and experiences that have shaped who I am. My New People series serves as a metaphor for this struggle: distorted and fragmented figures symbolizing the complexity of being observed from multiple perspectives but never fully understood.

A key element in this series is the use of multiple eyes, which represent both the internal and external scrutiny that comes with the constant need to be recognized. Eyes serve as a powerful symbol of visibility—of being seen and understood. They reflect the tension of wanting to be fully recognized in a world that often reduces us to fragmented identities.

Art becomes the space where I give form to what would otherwise remain hidden. My work addresses the internal voids and emotional displacement of existing between worlds, capturing the pain, resistance, and resilience that arise from the constant need to be seen. By distorting figures and using materials like porcelain and pine needles, I want to spark a dialogue about fragility and strength—two sides of the same coin.

My work not only reflects my struggle but also offers a space for viewers to see their own experiences and challenges reflected. In a contemporary context where visibility and representation are key themes, my art invites reflection on the importance of being recognized in our shared humanity, despite the invisible scars we all carry.

Ultimately, my work serves as a reminder that, even amid fragmentation and shadows, there is a profound beauty waiting to be acknowledged and celebrated
